How to print from DOS applications/program

Post by RUNTIME »

Hello,

I'm curious, is it possible to print from a DOS app to a Amyuni PDF print queue? If so, what conditions, settings and or set up that must be done to allow the job to hit the print queue and for Amyuni to render it.

if not, why not doesn't it work? what is it that does not allow Amyuni to work under DOS environment? What is the Data Type (RAW, EMF, TEXT..etc) that Amyuni can handle in DOS mode?

I'm testing www.dosprn.com with Amyuni right now to see if I can get it to work.. but I would like it if Amyuni just worked with any other 3rd tools

Thanks,
Rami

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not support printing from DOS applicatons, we only support Windows applications.

Printing from DOS is different than printing from Windows. From DOS you print directly to the Printer while from windows the commands are sent to the printer through GDI.

I know however that you can convert HTML files to PDF using our Driver from the DOS prompt by using HTML2PDF tool. I am not sure if this helps in your case.
